Hi Eric, I used the option '--without-macvtap' and I was able to compile on my linux box. When I compiled, I see many libraries are getting built. But as I have explained my requirement earlier, I just need a RPC client library, essentially the option '--with-remote'. If I check .c files I see only './src/libvirt.c' and './tools/virsh.c' are the two files where '# ifdef WITH_REMOTE' is present. Does it mean that as per my requirement I only need to compile these files? My intent is to have a library with minimal files which suffice to my requirement. Because that way it will be easier for me to compile them on QNX. You have mentioned on another thread that in a weeks time some new version of libvirt will come which we can compile for non-linux machines ? What change is coming in that version ? The latest version of libvirt can not be compiled for QNX ?
